Singer Irene Logan has faced backlash from Twitter users for claiming Ghanaians are xenophobic.

According to her, Nigerians and Liberians are usually victims of such xenophobic behaviour. 

Although a few users supported her, many others from Ghanaians and Nigerians did not favour the artiste who originally hails from Liberia.

Some people said the singer’s statement is unfair to Ghanaians, the country and its people have welcomed and given a lot of room to foreigners.

Other users tasked the singer to read the meaning of Xenophobia before she makes such claims.

Users like @yooku_s and @wisdom_ampofo believe Irene Logan’s statement can create not only conflicts between the countries involved but also with her wide following, it can put Ghanaians living in Nigeria and Liberia in danger.

“Ghana literally has a Liberian camp that has harboured Liberians since they had the war! We have coexisted with Nigerians since God knows when!... Where is all this coming from? You must have proof too! You can't just get up say anything because you feel like it!,” @Muhhnuella posted.

It is, however, uncertain what may have prompted the singer to make her comment.

I must say I find the actions of some Ghanaians towards other non-Ghanaians as very hypocritical, we were the very ones wailing when similar things happened to Ghanaians in SA but here we are.

As a Nigerian I lived in ghana for 3 and half years and I've never experienced such. Ghanaians are nice lovely and peaceful in general. The only thing that annoys some Ghanaians is the fact that we snatch their girlfriends easily 😁😀. So ur statement is incorrect in my opinion.

The Nigerians and Liberians are living freely and happily in Ghana. Trying to create unnecessary fear and panic. I believe u didn't really reflect on this tweet before posting it.

If what”™s happening here in gh is xenophobia then I think South Africa should really apologize to Africans . I will just believe that u actually do not know what you”™re talking abt

Which other African citizens? Have u heard any other African nationalities complaining in GH? All we saying is the nigerians should behave. Enough is enough. We v kept quiet over their attitude for a very long time n now we can't take them anymore so stop writing nonsense
